@whimsical I like how you had to argue with the AI to make it work.

@spongessuck oh yeah, beautiful right? I include it on purpose. It's funny. We had a bot that had to execute /img-gen. Some times, it did only img-gen. Just shouting at it @bot YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT. * poef * /img-gen :P Unbelievable right.

@spongessuck ah yeah, it's the gpt-4.1-nano model. I love it, but sometimes need some motivation. To get tool calls done correctly (also with bigger models) to be usable comfortably during a casual chat, it's a good idea to inform in the system prompt that the tools are available. I doubt if my current system prompt that has configured now. This thing is my own Claude Code / Gemini-CLI CLI. But mine was invented waaay earlier. I knew it would become popular (Claude Code, the gpt one and Gemini) but i did not see any money or whatsoever in it and people did not see the point of it when i explained it. It takes a huge company like they have before they get users convinced to use such tool.

@spongessuck it automatically extracts content from screen, doesn't matter how blurry the prompt is, it understands i'm talking about you and me and answers correctly. I can do fact checks of whatever there is on my screen. I can diagnose compiler / runtime errors. Everything. Doesn't matter if it's a browser or terminal. It can do searches online trough https://search.molodetz.nl JSON api to fact check stuff. I use it all the time. Again, something I don't know how to monetize. Kinda hard on linux in general and it's more the idea than technical achievement. Technically it uses a OCR C library. I do not send picture to AI, that takes longer than i can appreciate. Local OCR is the fastest way. On top of that, I have terrible internet so sending a picture would be terrible. Sending a picture to a fast LLM has advantages tho, it costs a bit more, but you could replicate designs to HTML and stuff. Extract CSS of any screen / page.
So we have a guy (Bob) leaving Friday. I am leaving him a secret admirer note and a usb drive. But in order to appreciate this I have another story to tell.
There used to be a guy (not Bob) that worked here once upon a time. He found a usb drive on his desk one day. It was loaded with naked images of another employee that was a guy (also not Bob). Also not Bob made a play, and miscalculated in the fact that not Bob was not amenable to his advances. So also not Bob ended up losing his job.
This brings us back to the story of Bob. He is leaving Friday. I am leaving a note he will find tomorrow morning that says:
"Bob, sorry to see you go. From your secret admirer."
I drew some hearts and a smiley face. As well as writing down a phone number. But of course the phone number is Ed's number.
Okay, I mentioned a usb drive. The usb drive is labeled "MISSYOUBOB". It has a folder on it named "My Photos". In this folder is pictures of goats.
I also sent this link to Bob:
